Below is a brief description of careers that are available at R.W. Setterlin.

Estimating Associates
The Setterlin Estimator's job is important in every construction project. Every type of project requires an accurate and comprehensive estimate of the amounts of materials, equipment, and labor necessary for the construction of the project. Our estimators work with the engineer's and architect's drawings or blueprints to prepare a complete list of all job costs, including labor, material, equipment, and specialty items necessary to complete the project. Their knowledge of construction techniques and proper scheduling of purchases and work are essential skills.

Project Managers
Setterlin Project Manager's responsibilities include the total management of construction projects, supervising trade contractors, maintaining financial control of the project, and communicating with the owner and architect to insure a successful project. Setterlin Project Managers' greatest assets are their ability to work with people to assure that each project conforms to the customer's requirements, and are completed in a quality manner.

Superintendents
Setterlin Superintendents are at the construction site from the groundbreaking to final payment. Setterlin Superintendents direct and coordinate the activities of the various trade groups such as Carpenters, Equipment Operators, Iron Workers, etc. - on site. Their responsibilities include making sure that the work progresses according to schedule, that material and equipment are delivered to the site on time, and that the activities of the various workers do not interfere with one another. They supervise all these activities by talking with and directing the foremen for the different trades or craft workers.

Field Associates
Setterlin Field Associates possess skills and perform work which is basic to most building construction. They erect wood framework in buildings; build forms for concrete; and erect partitions, studs, joints, drywalls, and rafters. Many of our carpenters work indoors to install all types of floor coverings, ceilings, paneling, trim, and interior systems. They are very skillful as "finish" work is visible and often involves expensive materials. Setterlin Field Associates use a wide variety of hand and power tools, and they maintain their tools in good, safe working order.
